By 1963 Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had already worked on a lot of different comics together…..and they were running out of ways for giving normal people super human abilities. Usually, they just found a way of exposing people to radiation: Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, even Captain America, were all the creations of radioactive exposure…..and it was getting old. So when it came to doing X-Men they were in real trouble…..what are five new ways to get superpowers? Well, what if they were just born with them?

What an idea! Of course, Stan Lee couldn’t avoid radiation altogether because, after all, the X-Men were only mutants because….you guessed it….their parents had been exposed to radiation!

This is an excerpt from out new, full length video: Rise of the X-Men!
